by Henner Kallmeyer
he war for Troy rages for ten years. When the Greeks conquer the city, two children meet in the Trojan horse: Briseis, who has grown up among the Greek ships, and Spourgitis, a Trojan kitchen boy. Both have grown up in war and only know the other side from stories. So attack! After all, they are enemies. Or are they?
Instead of fighting, they start talking: about the cause of the war, mutual prejudices and heroism - not at all to the liking of Hermes, the messenger of the gods. He waits impatiently for the grand finale of the meeting to do his job and accompany the souls of the deceased to the underworld. For can this meeting end in anything other than tragic death?
In his play, Henner Kallmeyer deals with the subject of war based on the ancient material - thought-provoking, touching and at times surprisingly humorous.
